Introduction Heat is generated and transferred to the dentine-pulp complex during various
dental procedures, such as from friction during cavity preparations, exothermic reactions …

Abstract The temperature and Vickers Hardness (VH) at the top and bottom surfaces of three
resin-based composites (RBCs) were measured when light-cured using five light-curing …

This paper presents a detailed analysis to directly compare the morphology and chemistry of
human tooth layers using advanced scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques …

This study assessed the impact of increased speed of high-speed contra-angle handpieces
(HSCAHs) on the aerosolization of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 …

Objectives Decreasing aerosol leaks are of great interest, especially in the recent era of
COVID-19. The aim was to investigate intrapulpal heat development, coolant spray patterns …

The heat produced during tooth preparation could be a source of damage for dental pulp,
and many variables are involved in this process. The aim of this in vitro study was to …

Background: Human enamel and dentin temperatures have been assessed with non-contact
infrared imaging devices for safety and diagnostic capacity and require an emissivity …

Statement of problem The cementation technique using preheated composite resin requires
high temperatures for optimal execution and may lead to increased and damaging …

Objectives To assess the influence of two conventional and one adapted cheek and lip
retractors and three emissivity setting values on intraoral infrared thermography (IT) …

The adhesive cementation of ceramic inlays may increase pulpal temperature (PT) and
induce pulpal damage due to heat generated by the curing unit and the exothermic reaction …
